Dustis unregistered Posts: 12017 From: San Diego Area Registered: JUL 2000	posted 08-25-2004 11:53 AM I've seen the new Lotus Elise yesterday on "Motorweek" - that's quite a ride !! 0-60 in 4.8 sec. - top speed 150 mph !! I know that some POA members already purchased/ordered one so I was wondering if you know how many are being built anually (prodution numbers, NOT the export numbers for the U.S.) Thanks for any infos !! ------------------ DUSTIS 2000 Black "Midnite Predator"

Dustis unregistered Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 08-25-2004 12:25 PM No way doc - there's NO substitute for the Prowler IMO !! I always like the late 70's / early 80's Lotus 'Esprit' and I heard about the 'Elise' but never seen one in extend until yesterday - pretty neat little vehicle !

YellowFever unregistered Posts: 3563 From: MD, USA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 08-25-2004 02:02 PM I've seen one. This is an INCREDIBLY SMALL car. It never really was intended for road usage (other then to get you to the track). If you think the roof leaks on a Prowler, check out what you get with this one. It's built of the frame of an MR2 and striped of anything they could. Not surprising then is the fact the engine is also a Toyota 4-banger. It's a quick little track car but, I'd be scared to death driving it in traffic that has anything bigger then a moped.
